chapter 3

After reading this chapter, I thought about the U.S.A. I know the author of the book wrote a little about our country in the beginning of the chapter. And that made me actually think about it. The book compared the United States to the Romanian Empire. They also suggested that what if the United States is going to have the same kind of fate? If you think about it, it really could happen. This country is corrupt and all the politicians are only focused on themselves instead of the country. Maybe our country will fall. Anyway, as I read on, the book started to compare these emerging civilizations. The Persians and Greeks were basically rivals. I consider both of those empires to be among the greatest civilizations in the world and definitely the most superior of their time. I also consider the United States as one of the greatest too. But my question is, who is our rival? Could it be Russia? Or maybe China and North Korea? There are too many formidable countries who dont like the United States.
